Full Details
Spen House Farm is a substantial and attractive Grade II listed detached house which is situated in a quiet, elevated position above the village of Askrigg. The property is spacious with accommodation extending to approx. 1700ft2 across two floors and whilst some updating is required, it offers immediate potential as a large family home.
The property is entered with a door leading through into the living room which has a log burning stove set in a stone fireplace. An inner hall has a staircase leading up to the first floor with an under-stair storage cupboard, and provides access to a useful utility room with a separate cloakroom, and the family kitchen diner. This room is dual aspect and features a range of fitted units with an electric oven and space for an under counter fridge. There is ample space for a family dining table with a useful cupboard and a feature fireplace.
To the first floor there are total of four double bedrooms, each of which enjoys a nice outlook across the open countryside. The main bedroom features fitted wardrobes and has two windows to the front. There is also a house bathroom with WC, basin, bath with shower over and an airing cupboard. Usefully, just off the fourth bedroom, is a large storage room. This can be accessed via the bedroom or via an external access at the back. This offer immediate potential to be incorporated into the house to create another bedroom or home office.
The property is complemented by an adjoining barn which offers immediate potential for further development if required, subject to planning approval. The barn is substantial and would make excellent ancillary accommodation if required but also offers great storage. One of the barns has ground floor access, with the second accessed via an external stone staircase.
The property is further complemented by an enclosed walled garden at the front with impressive bee-boles which make an attractive feature. There is a further woodland area at the side together with ample parking to the front for a number of vehicles. The property has the benefit of 1.97 acres of land to the rear and side with a further detached stone barn which provides excellent animal shelter and has running water. An additional field extending to 1.87 acres is available as Lot 2 by separate negotiation.
The property will appeal to those looking for a rural yet accessible family home, or buyers looking for a property with land for keeping sheep or horses. Viewing is advised.
